Hair dryer vacuum attachment

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a hair dryer vacuum attachment and methods for using the same. In one embodiment, the hair dryer vacuum attachment includes a first opening to attach to an end of a hair dryer, a second opening to allow air that is blown by the hair dryer to exit and a third opening to collect a debris via a vacuum created by the air blown by the hair dryer exiting the second opening.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair dryer vacuum attachment, comprising:
 a first opening to attach to an end of a hair dryer;   a second opening to allow air that is blown by the hair dryer to exit; and   a third opening to collect a debris via a vacuum created by the air blown by the hair dryer exiting the second opening.   
     
     
         2 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are arranged in a “T”. 
     
     
         3 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 3 , wherein the second opening and the third opening are located on opposite ends of the “T”. 
     
     
         4 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a screen coupled to the third opening to prevent the debris from entering the hair dryer vacuum attachment.   
     
     
         5 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 1 , wherein dimensions of openings of the screen is smaller than dimensions of the debris. 
     
     
         6 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the debris comprises human hair. 
     
     
         7 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 1 , wherein the first opening comprises an inner opening that is smaller than the first opening to increase a velocity of the air that is blown to create the vacuum. 
     
     
         8 . The hair dryer vacuum attachment of  claim 1 , wherein an inner wall is angled to direct the air that is blown out of the second opening. 
     
     
         9 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, by a first opening of a hair dryer vacuum attachment, air that is blown by a hair dryer;   directing, via the hair dryer vacuum attachment, the air to exit out of a second opening of the hair dryer to generate a vacuum; and   vacuuming, via a third opening of the hair dryer vacuum attachment, a debris.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 releasing, by the third opening of the hair dryer vacuum attachment, the debris when the air ceases to be blown by the hair dryer.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the directing and the vacuuming occur on opposite ends of the hair dryer vacuum attachment. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein dimensions of an inner opening of the first opening is smaller than dimensions of the first opening to increase a velocity of the air that is blown to create the vacuum. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the directing is performed by an inner wall that is angled towards the second opening. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 preventing, via a screen attached to the third opening, the debris from entering the hair dryer vacuum attachment.   
     
     
         15 . A hair dryer vacuum attachment, comprising:
 a housing, wherein the housing comprises a cylindrical shape and is substantially hollow;   a first opening formed along an outer perimeter of the cylindrical shape of the housing, wherein the first opening connects to a hair dryer;   a second opening formed on a first end of the cylindrical shape of the housing, wherein the second opening allows air that is blown by the hair dryer to exit; and   a third opening formed on a second end of the cylindrical shape of the housing opposite the first end, wherein the third opening collects a human hair via a suction created by the air blown by the hair dryer exiting the second opening.   
     
     
         16 . The hair dryer attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the first opening, the second opening and the third opening are integrally formed as part of the housing. 
     
     
         17 . The hair dryer attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the hair dryer attachment comprises a plastic. 
     
     
         18 . The hair dryer attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the first opening, the second opening and the third opening each have a circular shape. 
     
     
         19 . The hair dryer attachment of  claim 15 , wherein a net is coupled to the third opening to prevent the human hair from entering the housing. 
     
     
         20 . The hair dryer attachment of  claim 15 , wherein the first opening comprises a mechanical feature that is keyed to attach the hair dryer attachment to a hair dryer at approximately 90 degrees+/−45 degrees relative to a handle of the hair dryer.
